I'm a woman who has schizophrenia. In this blog I discuss my struggles with my job and finishing my B.A. in Creative Writing. I work for a mental health consumer-driven, consumer run self-help organization.

Biopsy Scheduled

I have a biopsy scheduled for a cyst on one of my ovaries on Monday the 3rd. I am kind of happy they finally found something because now I feel vindicated. It also means that I can begin to get treatment. Today I slept until 11:00 a.m. I have no energy and am a little irritated with myself for being at home.

Tomorrow I am going to an ENT about possible sleep apnea. Then I see my friend Fardin for coffee. I am supposed to fast and get a blood test for liver and also for cancer. I am going to see if there is a lab closer to my home. I hate fasting. Sometimes I wake up in the night and eat a bowl of cereal so that screws up the fasting.

I feel disenfranchised from society. I have three friends who don't call me anymore. That bites.

I got Victor an appointment at a clinic to get an evaluation for depression. This is major headway.

I am considering enrolling for summer classes at a local communtiy college. I am unsure whether I will be up to going to classes because I might need surgery. I can just plan for the best though.
